Ingredients:

  • 8 medium-size russet potatoes
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced vertically
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 cups of Jack cheese, shredded .
  • 1 1/2 lbs. pulled smoked pork, warmed
  • 2 cups corn chips (such as Fritos), coarsely crushed
  • 2 small ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 package coleslaw mix
  • 3/4 cup white barbecue sauce

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 200°C. Place potatoes on an aluminum foil-lined large rimmed baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until very tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large Crock-Pot over medium. Add onion slices, and cook, stirring often, until tender and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bell pepper, and cook, stirring often, 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
  • Cut a lengthwise slit down center of each potato (do not cut all the way through); squeeze sides to open. Slightly mash cooked potato pulp, and push toward opening. Top with cheese, pork, onion mixture, corn chips, and avocado; drizzle with barbecue sauce, and sprinkle with cilantro.
  • Toss together coleslaw mix and white barbecue sauce; serve with pork-stuffed potatoes.
